Genomic selection has revolutionized dairy cattle breeding. Since 2000, assays have been
developed to genotype large numbers of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at …

Excellent reproductive performance in both males and females is fundamental to profitable
dairy and beef production systems. In this review we undertook a meta-analysis of genetic …

The 1000 bull genomes project supports the goal of accelerating the rates of genetic gain in
domestic cattle while at the same time considering animal health and welfare by providing …

The first national single-step, full-information (phenotype, pedigree, and marker genotype)
genetic evaluation was developed for final score of US Holsteins. Data included final scores …

The search for the alleles that matter, the quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) that underlie
heritable variation within populations and divergence among them, is a popular pursuit. But …

Genetic progress will increase when breeders examine genotypes in addition to pedigrees
and phenotypes. Genotypes for 38,416 markers and August 2003 genetic evaluations for …

As the global population and global wealth both continue to increase, so will the demand for
livestock products, especially those that are highly nutritious. However, competition with …

Currently, genomic evaluations use multiple-step procedures, which are prone to biases and
errors. A single-step procedure may be applicable when genomic predictions can be …

Background Genome-wide association analysis is a powerful tool for annotating phenotypic
effects on the genome and knowledge of genes and chromosomal regions associated with …

Collecting cases for case–control genetic association studies can be time-consuming and
expensive. In some situations (such as studies of late-onset or rapidly lethal diseases), it …
